Squirrels

Both ground squirrels and tree squirrels can be troublesome in gardens. They will eat nuts, berries, green leaves, and other plants in gardens and surrounding areas. Ground squirrels live under ground and come up to eat. Tree squirrels live in trees, on branches or may end up in your attic or roof crawl space. The best way to tell the difference is when they flee look to see if they run up a tree or go underground. Even though they have different living habits they are similar in diet. The biggest difference is that tree squirrels are active all year while ground squirrels hibernate.
